Count your blessings

“Count your blessings and your problems….If your problems outnumber your blessings, Count Again…  Chances are the things that you take for granted were not added up…”  ~ Unknown

Complaining is our new national sport.  We complain without really thinking about the subject of our complaint.  “Oh, I don’t feel like work today… I’m so tired.”  We complain because everyone else complains.  “The petrol price…”  We complain because it makes us feel better.  “If only…”  We complain... because we can… 

If we were to count our blessings before we complain, we might have second thoughts.  No matter how bad our circumstances, somewhere in the world, maybe closer than we would like to know, there is someone who is worse off than ourselves.
